It's very important to note that nobody grounded the plane before the second accident, so it's not like the FAA was standing alone in allowing the plane to fly after the first accident. They get criticized for taking three days to ground the plane after the second accident, but you could also argue that the other regulators had a knee-jerk reaction without sufficient data.
